While the debut definitely made in comic book form, it also had the feel of a television episode and left us waiting for the next installment to see what is going to happen on the set of the cooking show! If you are looking for something outside the norm of comic books today, The Great British Bump-Off has something to offer. Read Full Review
I absolutely love the art style of the issue. The visuals are fun, light and beautifully detailed throughout. I think the style is perfect for this series and does a fantastic job of creating mood and complementing the tone of the story. Read Full Review
This was a good book. Had that mystery feel to it. Those describing it as an Agatha Christie vibe are absolutely correct. The artwork in this book is great. There is also that sense of comedy the co-host being a cat is just perfect (I’m a huge cat person).
As for the story. It is solid so far more than I was expecting when I read the solicit. Our main character investigating the murder while having to bake her cake is great. Everything that she is trying to do gets messed up. She wants to do a certain cake in honor of someone when a judge walks over and points out the guy was a bad person so she snaps around and says, “well then it’s honoring him laying in his grave and the worms eating him”.
